New reloader here, thanks in advance for any advice or knowledge.
Please help me clear up a couple of things:
1. I've got some .223 brass that I would like to reload. I noticed in the catalogs the bullet size is .22 cal; .224" diameter. Is this the right size bullet?
2. For .40 cal bullets, i've noticed something similar. The bullet size is 10mm; .400" diameter. Is this right for .40 cal ammo?
3. I'm looking at getting some factory 5.56 ammo. When I get ready to reload this, do I need a different die? I've seen something about a die that removes crimps. My rifle hasn't left any crimps in the .223 brass I've shot.When using the .223 die to reload a 5.56 case, is there any explicit resizing that takes place, or is this all done by the .223 resizing die?
